Ingeus is partnering with retail giant The Body Shop to make a real difference to people’s lives. We’re working with The Body Shop to deliver its Open Hiring recruitment practice, creating jobs quickly and easily for people who might normally struggle to find work. Issue no.14 / October 2022
Under the Open Hiring recruitment model, there is no formal interview process – just three simple eligibility questions for each candidate. If they answer yes to all three, they get a job as a Customer Consultant at The Body Shop – in some cases, within 24 hours! This is a real lifeline for people who may have certain barriers such as a disability or health condition, problems with housing, or a lack of previous work experience. It fits in perfectly with The Body Shop’s commitment to being a caring and inclusive company and Ingeus’ mission to Enable Better Lives. The Body Shop chose to join forces with Ingeus after a highly successful partnership with our parent company, APM Group, in Australia.

So, how does the partnership work in practice? In a nutshell, participants on Ingeus’ employment programmes are put forward for roles with The Body Shop. A pre-employment course for The Body Shop’s seasonal recruits ensures they’re ready to hit the ground running for the Christmas rush. To find out more, contact our employer services team, or if you’re in the area, we’ll be talking at the CIPD Annual Conference and Exhibition on the 9th November at Manchester Central.
